| There are no characters for the [[Windows key]] and [[Menu key]]. So this template shows approximate characters for them, namely the {{sc2|SQUARED PLUS}} and {{sc2|STRICTLY EQUIVALENT TO}} from the [[Mathematical Operators]] Unicode block:
| |
| * {{tc|key press|Win}} → {{key press|Win}}
| |
| * {{tc|key press|Menu}} → {{key press|Menu}}

This is the {{key press}}
template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
As lower-case alphabetic characters a–z do not appear on most keyboards, they should not be used as parameters.

Some key names have a fitting Unicode character.
